Yeah.Don't imprison a child of freedomYou are only learning that (now)Fredom, freedom I yearn forThe waves can't crash if the sky is windlessAnd again your ship stands stillFreedom, freedom I yearn forYou won't get me, you won't

I can't take anymoreThe soul doesn't rest hereI knew, I don't belong here, I won't stay hereThis isn't it yetThere's a lot more to seeIt's waiting, and now it'll get...But know this, it can't be stopped

Come on!Don't imprison a child of freedomYou are only learning that (now)Freedom, freedom I yearn forThe waves can't crash if the sky is windlessAnd again your ship stands stillFreedom, freedom I yearn forYou won't get me, you won'tOh yeah, you won't

The underlined part didn't make full sense to me, so I'm kind of guessing there.

I have recently discovered a finnish band called Pariisin Kevät (or better to say, a one-man band), he is wonderful But unfortunately, I don't understand what he is singing about; I could only find a few translations online.

Coulld I ask someone to translate these lyrics? The song is Pentti Holappa

I am kilometers tallFeet brush the surface of the earthI'm deaf and blindAn electric current runs through meHey, I saw you from far away alreadyThe prettiest in the display windowI'm gonna take you homeI'll play some songs or somethingBut you're quietLike the countryside in a summer's nightWhen it's still and the mist floats on the waterJust as prettily you sway there next to (it/me/unspecified)

You're somehow so cool (as in temperature)Surely we could talk about somethingBut you're so quietLike the countryside in a summer's nightWhen it's still and the mist floats on the waterJust as prettily you sway there next to (it/me/unspecified)

Okay, I think this is how it goes. I was a bit unsure about a couple strange words, like "tummainen" and "harhain", but I can't hear them as anything else. I guess they're just artistic versions of "tumma" and "harhaisin". Ja ole hyvä .

Terve!To improve my finnish, I decided to listen to finnish music that is easy to understand.Besides The Ievan Polkka I found the song "Viinarattihin rakastuin" by MeNaiset very good for practice but I sadly could not find the lyrics on the internet.Could someone, who fluently understands finnish, be so kind and write down the lyrics of the song? That would help me a lot!The song can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5uiSEXfErc

Thank you

Sorry, that's just too dialectal and difficult -- it would take me a long time to parse it, so I'll pass on it. Maybe someone else is braver?

Ukottaja, touter, refers to someone who is aggressively selling something, for example in foreign places like tourist destinations. I guess the taylors shouting in Finnish refers to that, since speaking the tourists' language is a common selling trick.

Usein humalahurjanuseimmin viinanillinkoura tukkihin tulevihapsihin hahattelevi [...]Lo, beware you lightsome lassie,hark, you heather still a blooming,shun the shed of drunken scoundrels,bed and berth of raving rascal,soiled sheets of a soaker,mangy blankets of a madman.

Often will the drunken scoundrel,even more the raving rascal,thrust his hand to thrash about you,grab and jerk your braid and hair do.[...]
